“It’s who you know.”
Leaders in power listen to those who wield it: the well-funded, the well-connected, and every once in a while, the well-organized.
In the economic policy world, major banks, asset management firms, and related think tanks define national economic growth strategies. These groups aren’t incentivized to prioritize what matters to most people: inclusive growth, fair markets, and economic security for individuals and families.

At Common Future, we’re funding, connecting, and incubating the work of seasoned leaders with bold ideas to transform significant economic policy at the Local, State, and Federal levels.

Grounded, data-driven solutions are amplifying the voices of those most affected by systemic failures — we support solutions that address the root causes of systemic inequities.
